Comment(by Quozl):

 Tested build 650, ''iwconfig eth0 txpower off'' and ''ifdown eth0'' do not
 work, !NetworkManager seems to put things back on.

 What does work for this build is hiding the usb8388.bin firmware file in
 another name, and rebooting:

 {{{
 su -
 cd /lib/firmware && mv usb8388.bin flying && reboot
 }}}

 and to put it back ...

 {{{
 su -
 cd /lib/firmware && mv flying usb8388.bin && reboot
 }}}
